Suspended senator Lidia Thorpe snuck into the Senate a day after her ban and yelled down at colleagues in defiant scenes.

Thorpe showed that she was not going to back down when she entered the Senate press gallery overlooking the chamber early on Thursday.

The outspoken Senator reportedly raised her fist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” before exiting.

Labor’s Senate leader Penny Wong reportedly prompted security to “shut the doors of the chamber” as the Thorpe yelled outside.

Later, Thorpe was photographed outside the main entrance with her first in the air in protest.

She also attended a genocide protest on Federal Parliament’s lawn and took aim at colonialism and attacked the King.

“We want our land back, we want our babies back, and we do want the King to just f–k off”,” Thorpe said.

The Senate voted to suspend the Victorian senator on Wednesday night after she threw pieces of paper at her One Nation colleague Pauline Hanson and called her a “convicted racist”.

In just the past two weeks, the Senate has voted to censure and suspend the Victorian politician, while an upper chamber colleague has reportedly sought legal action over a comment she made. But Thorpe remains unbothered.

“I’ve been suspended, I’ve been censured and I wear those disciplinary colonial actions like a badge of honour,” she said.

“To see my mob coming from every part of this country, telling the truth about what’s going on in their communities … they are my party room.”

Thorpe was not officially allowed in the chamber or to vote on any legislation on what was meant to be the final sitting day of the year.

She was suspended on Wednesday night after she threw pieces of paper at One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. The government, Coalition, senators Hanson, David Pocock and Ralph Babet all voted to oust her – with only the Greens standing against the motion.

“The Senate had to push back,” manager of government business in the Senate Katy Gallagher said.

“If people saw what happened yesterday, they would not tolerate it in their workplace.”

But Thorpe insisted it was no coincidence she had been suspended on the day her bill was scheduled for debate.

The push would strip the attorney-general of his power to block the prosecution of genocide and other atrocities in Australian courts, but Thorpe will be unable to speak to it.

“This was always a debate [Labor] didn’t want to have,” she said.

“Whether you’re a Palestinian Australian who has seen your family murdered in Gaza, or a black mother wanting to hold this government to account for the ongoing removal of First Nations children, my bill would give people in this country a better chance for justice.

“Now the Senate has suspended me to shut down this debate, but we will not be silent.”

The suspension ended up working against Labor when its first attempt to guillotine bills in the Senate fell short by one vote.

“They certainly got wedged,” Thorpe said.

“While I’m out enjoying the sunshine and good company, they’re losing out on passing legislation.”

She later spoke to grassroots organisers in front of Parliament House calling for the bill’s passage.

“Australia has been avoiding its obligation to prevent and punish Genocide, and has failed to implement the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, despite being a signatory,” Thorpe said.

“Supporting this bill means standing on the side of human rights, the rule of law, and everyday people.

“Opposing it is about maintaining undue political influence over our courts, and providing cover for war criminals.”

Elsewhere, Thorpe could also face a defamation case from Hanson after she called the One Nation leader a “convicted racist” during a television interview on Nine’s Today show.

Thorpe was referring to a November ruling, where a judge found Hanson’s 2022 tweet telling Greens deputy Mehreen Faruqi to “piss off back to Pakistan” was a strong form of racism.

Though this was a legal finding, it arose from a civil case – rather than a criminal one. Lawyers for Hanson said Thorpe’s comments were “patently false” and called on Nine to withdraw the allegation and apologise.

But Thorpe has backed her comments.

“Hanson can do what she likes with her platform but I will never stand silent while there’s people being racially vilified,” she said in Canberra.
